[. . . ] Ether-GSH24TW 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Web Management Switch User's Manual FCC Warning This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this user's guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CE Mark Warning This is a Class A product. [. . . ] The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other VLAN utility includes: Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched to only those confidential users within the VLAN. Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers. Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch. Features 24×10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation Gigabit Ethernet ports All RJ45 ports support auto MDI/MDIX, so there is no need to use cross-over cables or an up-link port Half duplex transfer mode for connection speed 10Mbps and 100Mbps Full duplex transfer mode for connection speed of 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbsps Wire speed reception and transmission Store-and-Forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and ensure data integrity 10 Up to 8K unicast addresses entities per device, self-learning, and table aging 512KBytes packet buffer Supports IEEE 802. 3x flow control for full-duplex mode ports Supports Port-base VLAN Supports Port-base QoS Supports Trunk. Supports Port-mirroring Supports Port-setting for Speed/Disable, Flow control Easy configuration via WEB Browser Easy setting via Web Management Utility Standard 19" Rack-mount size 11 Unpacking and Setup This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. 14 AC Power The Switch used the AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The switch's power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected. 15 Identifying External Components This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the Switch. Figure 4. Front panel of 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch LED Indicator: Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below). Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Port 1~24): The Switch sixteen Gigabit twisted pair ports, supported auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function, this function gives true "plug and play" capability, just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub directly and don't care if the end node is NIC (Network Interface Card) or switch and hub. These ports can operate in half-duplex mode for 10/100Mbps and full- duplex mode for 10/100/1000Mbps. Note: When the port was set to "Forced Mode", the Auto MDI/MDIX will be disabled. 16 Rear Panel The rear panel of the Switch consists of an AC power connector. Rear panel of the Switch AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Reset: The Reset button is to reset all the setting back to the factory default. Note: Be sure that you recorded the setting of your device, else all the setting will be erased when pressing the "Reset" button. 17 Understanding LED Indicators The front panel LEDs provides instant status feedback, and, helps monitor and troubleshoot when needed. The Switch LED indicators Power and System LEDs POWER: Power Indicator Power On : When thepower. LED lights on, the Switch is receiving Off Power turns : When theconnection. off or the power cord has improper System: Management Indicator Blinking : When the CPU is working, the System LED is blinking. On/Off : The CPU is not working. 18 Ports 1~24 Status LEDs Link/ACT: Link/Activity On : When the Link/ACT LED lights on, the respective port is successfully connected to an Ethernet network. Blinking : When the Link/ACT LED is blinking, the port is transmitting or receiving data on the Ethernet network. No link. Off : 1000Mbps On : When the 1000Mbps LED lights on, the respective port is connected to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network. Off : When the respective port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network When the 100Mbps LED lights on, the respective port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network. [. . . ] Trunk Settings Be sure that the selected trunk setting port must connect to the device with a same VLAN group. 33 Mirror Setting Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary. Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent. [. . . ]
